Yeah nobody was really surprised the interview was a bunch of softball bullshit, but those "no he's totally changed, i'm sure..." comments were 100% bullshit. Beating the poo poo out of a woman, choking her, and throwing her onto a pile of guns is not a "mistake".

I'd love it if Rovell took a look into the value he adds to ESPN's brand, and then he concludes that they should fire him.

Imagine an afterlife where all of the deceased greats play pick-up games all day. All of them in their athletic prime, never tiring. Stadiums are somehow constructed so that every spectator has their own version of an ideal view. There are no tickets, fans just walk in and enjoy the game. Free food is brought to their seats. The uniforms have no logos. There is no advertising to be found. Every single day is a different set of games with infinite combinations of teams and opponents. At the end of the day, fans mingle with athletes they spent their lives idolizing. None of this costs a dime as there is no need for money to exist. This is Darren Rovell's hell.

Honestly my first reaction is being impressed that Brazil protects that kind of speech. (Don't mean that to sound patronizing about a Latin country, just didn't know anything about their policies on that sort of thing.)

Not that the situation isn't bad, but isn't this the norm for reporters to poo poo on the host city before the games? They did the same thing before the Russia games that turned out fine. London was supposed to be dealing with an inevitable terrorist attack. China had all the reporters screaming about the air quality. Athens was not going to be ready either. Just seems like every Olympics we get a bunch of clickbait about how the Games will be a disaster and none of it comes to fruition.

It is bad and the media does always focus on poo poo like this and then once the games being its largely forgotten. The problem with Brazil which slightly elevates the situation is normally you have an over domineering government sweeping things under the rug and pushing people out and forcing things to simply get done/hide stuff. Except right now the government is in shambles and they're kind of just throwing their arms up with a shrug.

I don't pretend to know exactly what this means, but the acting governor declaring a state of financial disaster seems worse than what I remember from earlier olympics. Also doesn't seem exactly like clickbait and suspiciously like news.quote:Brazil is suffering the worst recession in decades and Rio's acting governor has declared a state of financial disaster this month, largely to bolster spending on security as the world's spotlight turns to the city. I mean, yeah the facilities might all get built, but I get the feeling they're next to begging for money in the street in order to pay for silly things like police.

A bunch of female athletes are either refusing to go or incredibly cautious about it because of what zika can and has done to pregnant women. One male athlete is freezing his sperm before he goes because he wants to ensure he can have a child with his wife without a threat of the virus. The bay for sailing events is literally filled with trash and human poo poo, and now a goddamn mutilated corpse. The Brazilian government as a whole is a complete disaster. Rio is literally a city at war with itself between cops and drug gangs. Reporting on these things is not clickbait. Yeah, sensationalizing happens but this is on a whole other level. Brazil was barely prepared for the World Cup (and at least 3 of the stadiums are already in disrepair) and they've literally thrown up their hands and said "gently caress it".

The difference this year is that most of these other countries have at least had their poo poo together enough that they could pretend things were okay. That Brazil can't even pass off any semblance of not being a disaster is kind of worrying.
